Last month, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) shared a tricky photograph of Indian cricketers who were seen glued to their iPads and mobile phones while waiting for departure at the Mumbai airport.

The Indian cricket board then revealed that the Indian stars, including the likes of MS Dhoni, Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Manish Pandey were playing a multiplayer game and asked fans to guess the name of the game.

"As we wait for the departure announcement from Mumbai, some of them are playing a very popular multiplayer game," the BCCI had tweeted. As soon as the tweet caught the attention of Indian cricket fans, everyone quickly came to a general consensus that Dhoni and his teammates were playing PUBG - a popular multiplayer shooting game.

While the BCCI didn't really disclose the name of the shooting game they were playing, Dhoni's recent comments (special request to be precise) further establishes his love for PUBG. As Virat Kohli turned 30 on 5th November, the BCCI shared a birthday video for the Indian captain.

The video comprised of birthday messages and wishes for Kohli from his Team India mates, head coach Ravi Shastri and the support staff. But, it was Dhoni, who was seen leading the wishes in the video, who caught our attention.

While wishing his successor on his special day, Dhoni made a special request: "Hi Virat, wish you a very happy birthday. I know you are a big PUBG fan because I've just found this old picture of yours. So, why don't you come and especially teach Manish Pandey how to play a first-person shooting game".

Apart from Dhoni, Ravindra Jadeja was seen urging Kohli to consume rice, flatbread (roti) and lots of sweets. On the other hand, Kedar Jadhav wished: "May you get younger and fitter with every passing day and handsome too".

The video ends with Shastri's wish for the 30-year-old batsman. "On behalf of the entire support team, a very happy birthday. Happy 25th, that's what we believe you are. Have an absolute blast," Shastri said.

Earlier in the day, Indian legend Sachin Tendulkar, too, wrote a warm message for Kohli on Twitter. "Wishing you a lot of success and happiness in the year ahead. Happy Birthday, @imvkohli!," he tweeted.

Terrorising opposition bowlers and shattering batting records, the Indian skipper has been in blistering form this year.

During the recently-concluded ODI series against West Indies, Kohli broke Tendulkar's record to become the fastest to 10,000 ODI runs. While the Little Master took 259 innings to achieve the feat, Kohli needed just 205 innings to beat his idol.
